I think the point is that a rats nest of wires is going to obstruct airflow, not to mention it's a pain to make changes to. You should put more time into managing wires considering you did get a modular power supply and have a case with room behind the motherboard tray.

I understand.

Just really haven't got to it yet. However that is a good point with the air flow.

Don't even sweat it. Your mess of the cables is not something that would make any difference. Even if you had a super cable management the difference would be 1 degree lower at best.

that's really really depends on your cooling solution too, bcs if your cables are like a wall then it will make more then 1 degree difference, but a single or some wires depending again on the width of them don't make much difference in temps...

Yeah, I am going to organize it a bit better. Honestly tho I just swapped to this 212 EVO and temps under load are 25c cooler. Temps really arent a major issue. However it certainly wont hurt. (Been putting it off anyway)

Don't even sweat it. Your mess of the cables is not something that would make any difference. Even if you had a super cable management the difference would be 1 degree lower at best.

There is some truth to this in the current form, without a bunch of dust/fur/cig smoke buildup. After a few months to a year or years, it could very well lead to a several degree or more difference when those obstructions become larger obstructions due to buildup. Without knowing how regularly jborg cleans the case out, this could make a big difference in time.

@Jborg

Cable management is a good skill to have as a system builder and everyone has their own way of doing it, my ultimate goal is serviceability, then airflow, then looks. Nothing is more annoying than having to swap out parts in a system that someone did such a clean cable mgt job on that needs all the zip ties cut away and half the cables un-wrangled to be able to finish the job and wasting more time doing that than replacing the part...all for the sake of looks.

The flip side is when cables are laid out like that, in a rat's nest so-to-speak, doesn't make serviceability any better either. Finding that middle ground makes it easy...what you're willing to settle with and clean will work fine for you. If you keep your system dust free...that nest wont' be a big issue...if you don't, it will eventually heat things up...probably would be years before fans would seize and components would overheat though. Nice system you have @Jborg I'd like to see it with a little cable management performed, and you'll be proud of the results.

I am definitely going to give it a shot. When I was taking the picture I kinda expected to get a little flak regarding the wires haha.

I recently just put this system together as well, so like I said, just have not gotten to it yet.

Also - the way this system was built was odd to, required alot of dis-assembling because I upgraded 1 thing after another, til everything was new besides the hard drive and DVD drive.

At first, I just purchased the new 8350... was running an ASRock 970 Extreme 4 then.
Then purchased this new Crucial RAM...
Then purchased the GTX 970....

Computer was running well on the 970 Extreme 4 board, but then soon learned it technically did not support the 8350's 8 cores fully due to the power phases.

So I upgraded to this Sabertooth board, and here I am now. It took a few days to tweak the new board to get my games running how I wanted. But overall... great new system.

I'm using an EVGA GTX 780 (reference blower style) that cools terrifically.

Fiance has an EVGA GTX 660Ti, and I use her system sometimes too.

She's expressed a desire to build, so I have a very sweet refurbed MSI GTX 660 TF/OC just waiting till we can get parts together. I tested it out for about a month, and I am astounded how good the card is! Phenomenal cooling, the ability to overclock it decently beyond factory, and very quiet. and to be honest, it handled Crysis 3 with most settings near max, with some high only (and played smoothly), despite that cruddy GeForce Experience saying it didn't meet minimum requirements.
